Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Soir d'Orient Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but an absolute masterpiece for those who get it. Prepare for an intense, opulent journey; definitely not a casual spritz.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gemini Extrait
A rich, complex beast that's definitely not for everyone, nor particularly 'Gemini' in spirit, despite the marketing. If you like your saffron heavy and woody-spicy, this might just scratch a familiar itch.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
